Montrose Blvd
I remember thinking, "this is no New York
But the skyline's actually quite pretty"
Hope cast a bittersweet shimmer all about
Will this town let me stick around?
Sweet perfumed jasmine on the hedges
Golden hour brick in my reflection
Six-lane highways and a strip mall Chinatown
You learn to love it, yeah you come around
It's midnight blue in the sky
And the rain is coming down
Traffic lights and neon signs
Blur behind the windshield
And paint a perfect rainbow on your face
It's my favorite way to see you
The whole world stops on Montrose Boulevard
And it's just me and you
Going round the round-a-bout at twilight
Past the fountains where younger selves jumped in at night
And somewhere between Richmond and Bissonet I have
A revelation and it's you
It's midnight blue in the sky
And the rain is coming down
Traffic lights and neon signs
Blur behind the windshield
And paint a perfect rainbow on your face
It's my favorite way to see you
The whole world stops on Montrose Boulevard
And it's just me and you
It paints a perfect rainbow on your face
It's my favorite way to see you
The whole world stops on Montrose Boulevard
And it's just me and you
Is that a beacon or a searchlight in the distance?
I think that it's coming from uptown
Is it looking for something or telling me I've arrived?
I can't tell
Is this city gonna miss me?
Did I leave a legacy?
Most people have a good reason to be here
I think mine was you
So we can go just about anywhere
And we can start anew
But the skyline's actually quite pretty"
Hope cast a bittersweet shimmer all about
Will this town let me stick around?
Sweet perfumed jasmine on the hedges
Golden hour brick in my reflection
Six-lane highways and a strip mall Chinatown
You learn to love it, yeah you come around
It's midnight blue in the sky
And the rain is coming down
Traffic lights and neon signs
Blur behind the windshield
And paint a perfect rainbow on your face
It's my favorite way to see you
The whole world stops on Montrose Boulevard
And it's just me and you
Going round the round-a-bout at twilight
Past the fountains where younger selves jumped in at night
And somewhere between Richmond and Bissonet I have
A revelation and it's you
It's midnight blue in the sky
And the rain is coming down
Traffic lights and neon signs
Blur behind the windshield
And paint a perfect rainbow on your face
It's my favorite way to see you
The whole world stops on Montrose Boulevard
And it's just me and you
It paints a perfect rainbow on your face
It's my favorite way to see you
The whole world stops on Montrose Boulevard
And it's just me and you
Is that a beacon or a searchlight in the distance?
I think that it's coming from uptown
Is it looking for something or telling me I've arrived?
I can't tell
Is this city gonna miss me?
Did I leave a legacy?
Most people have a good reason to be here
I think mine was you
So we can go just about anywhere
And we can start anew
